Abstract: Machine-implemented text/graphics formatting is based 
upon a logical page area on a presentation-receiving medium, 
such as a CRT face, sheet of paper and the like. named text and 
graphics receiving areas (222, 225, 233, 234, 236) are selec­
tively assignable to the logical pages (65) of a document being 
formatted for visual presentation and are addressable and 
formattable independent of other formatting in any logical 
page. The named areas are machine defined such that one 
area can have portions thereof automatically assigned to and 
presented with any arbitrary number of logical pages. Such 
areas are managed in a text formatting machine to facilitate 
formatting headers based upon text contained in a succession 
of logical pages that are outside the named area. A first class 
of such named areas is placed upon the page when formatting 
to the page is ended, while a second class of such named 
areas is placed on the page in response to a command. The 
placement of the second class on a page can result in starting 
formatting new pages. Bleed tabs, annotations, and other 
typographic niceties are machine formattable using such 
named areas.

Abstract: A noise blanking circuit for eliminating evidence of noise 
present in an incoming alternating electrical control signal, 
such as a shaft encoder or tachometer signal in a servo 
control circuit, is disclosed. The alternating electrical signal is 
input to a first input (A) of a shift register (44) having a 
plurality of outputs (C, E, G, J). Clock signals having a 
preselected frequency are input to a second input (B) of the 
shift register (44) for digitally sampling the alternating 
electrical signal at the times of occurrence of the clock 
signals so as to produce digital samples shiftably stored in 
respective storage locations of the shift register (44), which 
are connected to the plurality of outputs (C, E, G, J) of the 
shift register. The digital samples appearing at predeter­
mined ones of the plurality of outputs (C, E, G, J) of the shift 
register (44) are input to a logic circuit (50...60) for producing 
a first logic state (low state) as an output signal, when a first 
logic state appears at the predetermined ones of the plurality 
of outputs (C, E, G, J) of the shift register (44), and a second 
logic state (high state) as the output signal, when a second 
logic state appears at the predetermined ones of the plurality 
of outputs (C, E, G, J) of the shift register (44). The selectivity 
of the noise blanking circuit can be selected by adjusting the 
clock signal frequency and/or the number of storage loca­
tions included in the shift register (44) and/or changing the 
predetermined ones of the plurality of outputs (C, E, G, J) of 
the shift register (44) which are input to the logic circuit 
(50...60).

Title: Milking machine with a milk claw
IPC: A01J5/04
Filed: 1985-05-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a milking machine with a milking tool which consists of teat cups and a collecting piece and which is connected via a milk pipe to a milk-conveying line, the inside of the collecting piece being supplied with atmospheric air in the relief phases. The atmospheric air forces the milk through the milk pipe into the milk-conveying line. In the milking phases, the inside of the collecting piece is then once again connected immediately via the connection pipe to the vacuum of the milk-conveying line, the air line or flushing line. The quantity of milk situated in the milk pipe therefore has no effect on the vacuum level inside the teat cups. The vacuum inside the milk-collecting piece is controlled via a two-way membrane valve switched by the milking pulsator. <IMAGE>

IPC: A61B17/068
Filed: 1985-07-10
Abstract: A surgical stapling device utilizes staples each having a 
pair of parallel limbs bridges by a straight cross-piece. As the 
limbs are implanted by the device on opposite sides of a skin 
incision, they are bent inwardly towards each other below 
the skin surface to close the incision and the cross-piece is 
bent to create an arched air gap above the skin surface to 
allow space for post-operative swelling and to facilitate 
subsequent removal of the staple. In the device, a row of 
staples straddling a rail (20a) are advanced toward a metal 
mandrel (20b) projecting from the front end of the rail into an 
outlet (19). The mandrel (20b), which has an arched forma­
tion, is flanked by a pair of abutments (29) on the front end of 
the rail (20a) whereby the foremost staple in the advancing 
row is deposited onto the mandrel (20b). Cooperating with 
the mandrel (20b) is a plate-like former (12) whose leading 
edge has a recess therein leading to an inner arched section 
(13) which generally conforms to the arched mandrel. When 
the device is actuated, the leading edge of the former (12) 
which is normally retracted from the mandrel (20b), adv­
ances towards the mandrel (20b), the former (12) sliding 
along the end abutments (29) of the rail (20a) and causing the 
staple engaged thereby to emerge from the outlet (19), in the 
course of which movement the staple is implanted in the skin 
and is formed on the mandrel to assume the desired 
configuration.
